The title is actually "Derby" but when this word is spelled by the people of Barareh, it'll be changed to "Darbid". So, the rest of it is about a big derby match between Payin Barareh FC and Bala Barareh FC. But it actually wrapping the real derby of Tehran between Perspolis FC and Esteghlal FC. As long as everything in Shabhaye Barareh is a symbol of its real-world twin, so the director wants to blame on exaggerated contentions between the two teams of Tehran derby. Every single trouble of real-world Tehran derby is pictured but by using symbols. We can see the efforts of each team to pay the referee for making him kind to them or aggressive to the rival.

At the end Shir Farhad (Mehran Modiri) who is choose to be the referee, talks with his conscience about being partial with which team? But unfortunately, his conscience is asleep.
